KBRV is fully committed to providing information about the collection and use of personal information furnished by, or collected from, visitors while using our website, products and services. Below is an explanation of the information we collect, how we use it, and why the use of this information will benefit our visitors' experience.

WEBSITES:

The websites owned and controlled by KBRV, may ask for and collect personally identifiable information in order to provide a customized experience. Visitors are given notice of this request. Visitors will be informed about how KBRV may use such information, including whether it will be shared with carefully selected third parties. In most cases, the information a visitor provides is added to our database in order for KBRV to provide personally tailored messages, which are delivered online. Visitors will always be offered the choice not to provide personally identifiable information or to have it shared with others.

Please note that KBRV does not control and will not be responsible for the privacy policies of third party websites, or websites not controlled or authorized by KBRV. Third party websites that are accessed through links on our websites have separate privacy and data collection practices, and security measures. We have no responsibility or liability for the practices, policies and security measures implemented by third parties on their websites. We encourage you to contact them to ask questions about their privacy practices, policies and security measures before disclosing personal information.

Visitors to our membership website are asked to become Registered Online Members. In order to become a Registered Online Member, visitors will be asked their name, address and other basic profile information. Registered Online Members will be assigned a login ID and a password in order to perform certain functions, next time they visit our website. If the visitors choose not to supply the information, their ability to perform certain transactions may be affected. For example, not providing an email may prevent the processing of an enquiry/booking form.

Security is provided concerning credit card information, names, addresses, email addresses and any other personal information that visitors may provide within Reservation, Enquiry and Members portions of our websites. Although "guaranteed security" does not exist either on or off the Internet, we safeguard our visitors' personally identifiable information by using industry standard practices. Currently, our websites utilize a variety of different security measures designed to protect personally identifiable information from unauthorized access by users both inside and outside KBRV.

Third party websites that are accessed through links on our websites have separate privacy and data collection practices, and security measures. We have no responsibility or liability for the practices, policies and security measures, implemented by third parties on their websites.

COOKIES & INVISIBLE PIXELS:

A cookie is a very small text file that is sent to a visitor's browser from a web server and stored on the visitor's computer hard drive. It assigns the computer a unique identifier. It is essentially the visitor's identification card when she/he returns to the KBRV site. Cookies save visitors time because they help us to provide the visitor a customized experience without having to remind us of her/his preferences each time she/he returns to our web pages. KBRV cookies cannot damage visitors files, nor can they read information from the visitor's hard drive.

Cookies help us provide our visitors with a personalized online experience in the following ways:

They remember visitor names and passwords for future visits so log-in is easier and faster

They ensure visitors are provided with the appropriate frames and content

They ensure visitors obtain the information requested.

They help us deliver communications that are relevant and targeted to our visitors' interest

KBRV cookies do not follow visitors when traveling on the INTERNET after leaving KBRV websites. We track the usage of our websites in order to modify it according to our visitors' need. We pay attention to what information is requested and attempt to make it easier to find such information in the future.

If visitors do not want the benefits of these cookies they can set their browser to reject the cookies. Visitors should consult the instructions for their particular browser on how to do this. However, visitors should understand that rejecting cookies might affect their ability to perform certain transactions on our websites and our ability to recognize their browser from one visit to the next.

KBRV also uses invisible pixels, sometimes called web beacons, to count how many people visit certain web pages. Information collected from invisible pixels is used and reported in the aggregate without personally identifiable information. KBRV may use this information to improve marketing programs and content.

ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL PROFILES:

Within the Members area of the website we provide a profile section. Filling this information makes it easier for visitors to conduct certain functions. We respect our visitors' privacy and maintain their profile information on a secure server. Personally identifiable information can be accessed and updated by the member. KBRV will not use our visitor's confidential information for purposes, which are not disclosed to or authorized by the visitor. Visitors have the opportunity to review the information they provide and update it at any time.

Occasionally, information that a visitor requests to be removed will be retained in certain files in order to properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot problems. In addition, information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored "back up" systems. Therefore, visitors should not expect that all of their personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to their request.

Data collected by KBRV is an asset. It is possible that KBRV, its subsidiaries, affiliates, joint venture companies, or any combination of the foregoing, could merge with or be acquired by another legal entity. In such event, visitors should expect that KBRV may share some or all of the data collected from its visitors with such other entity; provided, that such other entity will be notified of the practices, which apply to personally identifiable information under KBRV's applicable privacy policy.

EMAIL:

From time to time, KBRV asks visitors for their email address in order to provide relevant information such as reservation confirmation and offers. Email addresses may be joined with other information provided at our website and may also be augmented with other data sources. By providing their email addresses to us, visitors may receive email. Visitors will always have the ability to accept or decline email communications from KBRV.

Email communications is sent only to people who have consented to receive email from KBRV or by our carefully selected third parties. At the time of email capture, KBRV will advise the visitor that we will use the email address for service and product information, as well as marketing and promotional communications. At any time a visitor may opt-out of receiving email communication by following the directions posted in every email, or by contacting a KBRV customer service representative to opt out of email communication.

Visitors may receive periodic offers and information from KBRV about our products and services, as well as offers and information from KBRV carefully selected marketing partners. Visitors may also receive offers and information directly from these selected third parties. Visitors who do not want to receive marketing information from KBRV and/or these third parties in the future, have the option to contact us in order to decline such communication.

Once the visitor has opted out, they can choose to opt-in again by changing their profile online or by contacting us in any way.

In cases when a visitor voluntarily provides personal information in response to an email (a survey or a purchase, for example) KBRV (or a third party engaged by KBRV) will inform the visitor how this information will be used. For example, information may be used so visitor can receive goods, services or information that was requested. KBRV may also use this information in aggregate form to get a better understanding of the type of individuals responding to specific offers.

SWEEPSTAKES / CONTESTS:

Sometimes KBRV runs sweepstakes and contests. We ask people who participate to give us their contact information (like their email address). If a visitor participates in a sweepstakes or contest, his/her contact information may be used to reach him/her in connection with the sweepstakes or contest, and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes.

All KBRV sweepstakes/contests entry forms will provide a way for participants to opt-out of any communication from the sweepstake's/contest's manager that is not related to awarding prizes for sweepstake/contest. Entry forms will further provide contestants with a choice whether to receive email marketing materials from our carefully selected third parties. When a visitor enters KBRV sweepstakes/contest, the information the visitor provides is not shared with any third party, unless the visitor agrees to such by checking the opt-in box on the sweepstakes/contest entry form. By accepting the prize, the winner agrees that KBRV (and those acting under its authority) may use the winner's name picture/portrait, likeness and/or voice for advertising and other promotional purposes without further consideration, unless prohibited by law.

IMAGES:

Images taken by KBRV and their agents on Fraser Island may be used for marketing purposes. KBRV has unrestricted use of these images including, but not limited to, web, printed collateral, social and media and subjects will have no future claim to images.

RESEARCH:

From time to time KBRV may perform research (online and offline) via surveys. All surveys responses are voluntary, and the information collected will only be used for research and reporting purposes, to help KBRV to better serve its visitors by learning more about their needs. The survey responses may also be used to determine the effectiveness of our websites, various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities.

If a visitor participates in a survey, the information given by the visitor will be used along with that of other study participants (for example, KBRV might report that 50% of a survey's respondents are women). KBRV may share anonymous individual and aggregate data for research and analysis purposes.

KBRV may also contact participants through email for other purposes if given permission to do so. For example, if participants indicate in survey that they wish to join a KBRV online research panel. When a participant submits a survey, the email address and the response to the "future contact" question described above, are automatically stored in a database that is intentionally separated from the participant's survey responses. Therefore, the participant's email address is not tied back to the survey responses. KBRV will not share with third parties the personally identifiable information provided by a survey participant in response to survey questions. For all other purposes, only aggregate data that is devoid of all personally identifiable information will be used.

In the course of providing survey to visitors, a cookie may be placed on their browser in order to control the research process, primarily to stop people from being asked to take the same survey twice - or being allowed to take the same survey twice. In addition, the types of advertising visitors view in emails received or on websites during the course of their web surfing, may be connected to the visitor's anonymous survey responses.

Participation in KBRV's surveys is voluntarily. Participants who do not whish to receive email communications from KBRV may opt out of the receipt of such communication by notifying us as provided below.
